Christian Conaway is founder and director for undergraduate student research team, Yonder Deep, which will be deploying the first expendable Autonomous Underwater Vehicles later this year. Alongside his studies here at UCSD, Christian is passionate about sustainable finance, engineering management, and sailing, spending time studying at the London School of Economics, building a Mars Rover, and taken watch on overnight sails along California's coast. He now hopes to build pathways for undergraduate students to independently research and construct tangible products to impact the world positively, and to set a precedent for students to engage the world around them despite the obstacles they face. ​
